Common Reasons for UK Spouse Visa Being Refused

There can be various reasons why your UK spouse visa getting refused. Below, we have mentioned some common reasons for spouse visa rejection:

  • Insufficient Evidence of Relationship: To get your spouse's visa approved, you have to provide supporting documents, like a joint bank account, travel history and shared living arrangements, that prove the genuineness of your relationship. Many people fail to meet this criteria, so their visas are rejected.
  • Financial Requirements: To legally bring your spouse to the UK, you have to meet the financial requirements set by the UK government. This typically involves earning over a certain threshold income to support yourself and your spouse. As per current regulations, this income is set to be £29,000 per year or more. Failing to meet this set limit is one of the primary reasons for spouse visa rejection.
  • Incomplete or Incorrect Documentation: To get your Spouse Visa approved, you must submit all the documents accurately and on time. Any discrepancies or missing information can lead to a refusal.

Suspected Fraud: The Home Office is vigilant in detecting fraudulent applications. Therefore, any inconsistencies or suspicious circumstances that raise red flags may result in visa refusal.

What to Do if Your UK Spouse Visa Gets Refused?

In case your UK spouse visa is refused, do not panic, for you still have three options:

Administrative reviews

If you think the rejection is due to incorrect processing or evaluation of your visa application and the documents you submitted by the caseworker, you can request an administrative review.

However, it is essential to remember that, in this case, you can only refer to the documents you submitted previously and cannot add additional ones. Our team can assess your application and the authority's decision, help you point out if the caseworker made any mistakes, and guide you towards the best course of action.

Appeal the Decision

You can appeal a formal request to the Home Office to reconsider their decision if your caseworker made a mistake that caused the rejection or if the decision violates British laws, human rights, immigration policies, interracial relationships, or international agreements. Here at UK Visas, we can help you find lawyers who can guide you through the appeal process and help you build a strong appeal.

Re-apply

If you think that the case worker’s decision was correct and that the mistake was on your part, you can do your research and reapply for the spouse visa. You can also do the same if the reason that prevented the visa approval no longer applies. No matter how complicated your situation is, you can always rely on our team for assistance regarding your UK spouse visa application.
